White Lotus writing and pacing has been way off. This is not the best of three. Great cast. Some great moments but this isn’t an Emmy award show this year. Just isn’t.

This whole season has felt like a slog, and a slight against Natasha Rothwell's character.

stankvicious.bsky.social•8 days ago

I don't find the season slow at all.

I've been at the edge of my seat every week, Idk wtf these people are complaining about. Best season of TV's best show.

The scene with Goggins and Rockwell at the mansion was just painful. Not stealthy operatives is one thing, but didn't bother to spend five minutes Googling the person they were going to see? Nah. Rockwell deserves better than having to fake vamp like a character on Friends.

The show is trying to be another “Sex and the City,” seems like. Never thought I wouldn’t look forward to anything that had Parker Posey and Jason Isaacs in it, but here we are.

I really think this season did not need the extra episodes. 6 episodes would have fit this season so so much better

The important thing that happened in the Rick storyline is what didn’t happen. He didn’t kill him. He didn’t even hit him. He mostly chose non violence. Is Chelsea’s faith in Rick going to be rewarded?

Because the whole season’s been sluggish. This season should have been five or six episodes. There wasn’t nearly enough drama for eight.

Stretching 6 episodes of content over 8 episodes…

jenmsp.bsky.social•8 days ago

How obsessed is White with the Parker Posey/House of Yes parallels: incest, Jackie O obsession, & having an actual Kennedy playing her son in White Lotus. The casting is genius, but…

softinfestedsummer.bsky.social•8 days ago

This show is boring as shit

tzipshmil.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes, I agree. Rick’s father storyline, that was annoying anyway, ended with a whimper and nothing really important happened.

The man literally changed his whole life right before our eyes. What show were you watching???

The boxing episode of every show is the worst episode of every show.

bitterscriptreader.bsky.social•8 days ago

if this includes Fight Club episodes, I agree

With tattoo episodes of any show coming in a close second.

I’m just thankful that the paintball era is over with.

Fabien didn't even rate a notice. Brutal review in and of itself.

sepinwall.bsky.social•8 days ago

I mentioned his performance, and how underwhelming a payoff it was to that running gag.

builttoshill.bsky.social•8 days ago

I was mostly ribbing the character for having a built-up performance that barely faded to background music before it got subsumed by soundtrack altogether!

onlypadres.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’m enjoying the ride, but this last episode has a lot of work to do.

oldmanwickett.bsky.social•8 days ago

Its not a good show. I don't see why it gets talked about so much.

hamptonstevens.bsky.social•8 days ago

The dialogue is spectacular

sweetbobby.bsky.social•8 days ago

Think of this season as a movie...

ckeenan22.bsky.social•8 days ago

This season is flailing, almost like White had too long to write it. I enjoy watching all of the actors and their stellar performances but the sum of the parts isn’t there for me as a complete show.

jtomase.bsky.social•8 days ago

Lucius Malfoy has been in the exact same junkie haze for more than half the season. You could play his scenes in any order without changing his arc.

sallyneary.bsky.social•8 days ago

Heyyyyy.
I never even realized. I knew him as that Edinburgh private detective!
